Therapy Intensives 

Sometimes, the traditional weekly therapy model just doesn’t fit the pace or needs of your relationship—and that’s okay. That’s why I offer intensive couples therapy designed to provide focused, meaningful healing in a way that works best for you. This is a "make it or break it" process to uncover how your relationship arrived here, explore options for moving forward, and create a mutual agreement on the path ahead.
 

You have two flexible options:

1-Day Intensive: 
A powerful, 6-hour deep dive into your relationship’s core challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll explore your unique story, identify patterns, and build practical tools—all in one focused day. This is perfect if you want to prioritize a big breakthrough without spreading it out over multiple sessions or years.
 

2-Day Intensive:
If you prefer to pace things out, we can split the work over two days, each with 3 hours of dedicated therapy. This option allows time to process in between sessions and dive deeply into individual and shared experiences, skill-building, and future planning.
 

Both include:

• A comprehensive intake and relationship assessment

• Individual sessions to explore personal perspectives

• Guided work together to heal, grow, and strengthen your connection

• Time for integration, reflection, and a clear plan moving forward

• Scheduled breaks to honor your energy and focus
   

Why Choose Intensive Couples Therapy?
 

• Faster, Focused Healing:
  Instead of waiting weeks between sessions, you dedicate focused time to get to the heart of the matter—making breakthroughs possible in days, not months. Therapy can take years to make a breakthrough. That is what makes this different. 
   

• Fits Your Life:
  Busy schedules, travel, or motivation to move quickly? Intensives offer a flexible, effective alternative to weekly appointments.
   

• Deeper Connection:
  The concentrated time allows for exploring patterns and emotions more deeply, creating space for authentic growth and understanding.
   

• Ethically Sound & Client-Centered:
  Research shows intensive therapy formats can be just as effective as traditional therapy, especially when tailored to client needs (Lebow et al., 2019; Shadish et al., 2011). This model respects your time and your healing process.
   

The Research Behind Intensives

Studies indicate that therapy intensives can accelerate change by providing immersive, uninterrupted focus on relationship issues. Couples often experience:

• Increased emotional closeness

• Reduced conflict and communication breakdowns

• Enhanced problem-solving skills

• Greater overall satisfaction with their relationship
   

Research supports that intensive formats can be as effective—or more so—than traditional weekly therapy for certain couples, especially those who are highly motivated and facing urgent concerns.
